As Overheard Today in Sacrament Meeting

Shauna: "What's a 'family mission plan'?" Me: "I dunno. Having kids far enough apart that you can afford to pay for them?"

As Overheard Tonight On the Way to the Hospital

Me: "I was really looking forward to eating dinner tonight" Shauna: "If it makes you feel better, I haven't eaten either." Me: "Why would that make me feel better? 'Oh boy, you're hungry too'?" Stupid abdominal pains. More to follow...

Our New Addiction 7

Our New Addiction
